The modular design of the PowerVault MD1000 is engineered for easy expansion - giving you more room to store data from your server. Up to three PowerVault MD1000 15 mixed-drive expansion enclosures can be daisy-chained together giving you 15, 30, and 45 mixed disk drives options. To keep management simple the PowerVault MD1000 connects to and can be controlled by a single PERC 5/E RAID equipped PowerEdge server. Configure the specific combination of storage resources you need now, and add more storage volume later, quickly and easily.

The PowerVault MD1000 is the first in a series of new disk storage units from Dell, and is designed to incorporate subsequent releases. Future models will use the same modular chassis, allowing for complete configuration with existing models, ensuring life-cycle and usability of your hardware for the long-term.
